The Kingdom of God is within you.
To be clearer, maybe we should say the power of the Kingdom of God is revealed through you. Yes, God works through all of us to reveal his kingdom. Sometimes we know it. Sometimes we don’t. Most of the times it is after something happened that we look back and say, “What just happened there? That wasn’t my intent. That wasn’t me that made that happen—there were too many other factors.” That is the power of the Kingdom of God.
When we realize that we are the vehicles that the work of God gets done, we pause and we start asking questions. What is God doing through me now? What is it that God could do through me? How do I make myself ready to do what God needs to spread the gospel? These are all the tough questions that prime us for our next mission whether we know it or not.
Today, we talk about the parable of the mustard seed ( an underestimated parable of the Kingdom of God) to lead us in an understanding of the power of the Kingdom of God within us.
